Quote 3257

I'm even more persuaded than previously that itinerant ministry or the conference circuit speaker is unhealthy. I can think of cases where husband and wife travel together, ministering together, and it is a beautiful thing. However, we must value the local church and the family far above the big names and dynamic conference speakers. We need to be wholeheartedly committed to a family of faith. The preacher-man should be a family-man (1 Timothy 3:4–5). The shepherd should smell like sheep. We need people who know our strengths and our weaknesses. We need people, lots of people, around us who know we're nothing special. We need real accountability.
